    Solid Sound - 2015 - June 26-28

    Also,  I would call the hotels in Williamstown directly.  You don't know if there are cancellations or waiting lists.  There always seems to be people looking to swap lodging or posting that they are going to cancel as we get closer.  Also, craigslist may have apartments for rent that weekend.  You may have to get creative.  Contact airbnb listings and ask if they know anyone who might rent out their house or apartment?

     

    I am sending emails to hotels to ask about availability and waiting list. I thought to contact the airbnb hosts and ask this but to talk to them you need to request to book and send dates you wish to stay. I can't just send a message, as in Facebook so I thought it might annoy them or be rude (it would be something normal here in Brazil but I am afraid of being unethical or something like that.)
    Do you think they could be angry and perhaps even report me or is this totally ok?

    Yay! I don't have any great insights, but it seems hotels are booking up fast. The good ones in Bennington, Vermont are all booked. You still might be able to find some decent ones in the Springfield area. Where did you guys stay last time?

    Last time we rented a room in North Adams at Airbnb and it was great to stay in town! I think I'll wait until March to see if something appears... I remember that appeared some properties in airbnb in March/2013 so I hope to get something in North Adams or Williamstown at least.

    Wow, I'm genuinely surprised that not a single person has posted about this one yet. I guess I'll do my duty. (For the record I won't say what I was writing, but it was probably the setlist...so I guess my getting "busted" should serve some purpose...haha. :wave ).

     

    Hi Paul! :wave Sorry but you know how my english is... I couldn't write as well as you do.
    It was really cool... I can't believe how lucky I am! I felt very happy to be there with new friends :) and my friends from Brazil. So great :)

    I'm not lucky to see the band in my town but I can't believe!

    I was so sad because I'll be on a plane going to Chicago at the same time he will be playing at the Taste festival... Now I'm really excited (and I need to get these tickets)  :banana

    i was so happy when they busted out that Pavement tune. i might have done a little dance in the photo pit. i voted to get "Gold Soundz" as one of the covers and enlisted friends, but was certainly not disappointed w/ "Cut Your Hair."

     

    I also danced in the photo pit  :banana  I love Gold Soundz too but requested Cut Your Hair because I thought it was a good song about drummer's hair and Glenn's hair is amazing! :B I was very disappointed that Jeff didn't realize that :(

    (I love Pavement and begged all my friends and co-workers to request this song on the website. I couldn't believe when they played at the festival )

    Glenn's new song: "Anomaly Mvt 2"

    "Adventureland" is the latest release from Glenn Kotche featuring his original compositions and will be available next week. His previous recording, "Mobile," is excellent; David Harrington of the Kronos Quartet thought so too, because after hearing it he asked Kotche to write a piece for them. The resulting seven movement work, Anomaly, for the Kronos Quartet with Kotche on drumkit and electronics is the musical thread that weaves through "Adventureland."

    Kotche has been so involved in the contemporary music scene over the past several years that I’m not sure anyone reading this needs to be told that he’s also the drummer for Wilco, but there you go. He’s collaborated with So Percussion, Bang on a Can All-Stars, Eighth Blackbird, and Victoire, and he’ll be performing with cellist Maya Beiser later this month at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

    Listening to "Adventureland" from start to finish is a shuffle-like experience. All seven movements of Anomaly are interspersed between movements from other pieces. In fact, the other major piece on this recording, The Haunted (not for two pianos and two percussion, but instead “For Two Pianos vs. Percussion,” according to Kotche in the liner notes), is even in a mixed-up order, beginning with the fifth movement, ending with the second, and the first somewhere in the middle.

    The Haunted, inspired by a tour Kotche took of a famously haunted former steel mill in Alabama, is energetically performed here by Lisa Kaplan and Yvonne Lam on piano and Matthew Duvall and Doug Perkins on percussion.

    There are also two single movement pieces on "Adventureland." One of these is called The Traveling Turtle performed by Gamelan Galak Tika. Kotche could have easily made the piece much more complex, but instead there is a sense of restrained patience coupled with a subtle dramatic arc. In fact, it’s probably fair to say that the whole album follows this description.

    The remaining track, Triple Fantasy, is made up of three different things all mashed together: the the fifth movement of Anomaly, a piece previously written for Eighth Blackbird called Double Fantasy, and various field recordings.

    It’s no surprise that the music of a percussionist is so focused on rhythm, but that’s one of the most distinctive features of all of these pieces. Although there are several fleeting moments of lovely and easily recognizable melody in both Anomaly and The Haunted, this music is at its best when Kotche creates long stretches of colorful textures and infectious rhythmic activity.
